Who is Haoke from Startide Rising and what is their importance? Startide_Rising English & Literature Haoke | Startide Rising

A silent Tursiops neo-dolphin assigned to the exploration vessel Streaker, Haoke remains a Sub-Sec in the engine room, although his test scores indicate the intelligence to become a non-com or officer. Haoke goes patrolling with Moki out of a sense of duty, while Moki goes, hoping to have an opportunity to kill, envying Bosun K'tha-Jon for getting the assignment to hunt Midshipfin Akki. Moki sings in Primal to provoke Haoke, who is upset about Capt. Creideiki's condition but glad that wise Takkata-Jim will reject the hopeless Trojan Seahorse scheme. Haoke favors giving the Galactics whatever they want. Nothing is worth dying for. Haoke acknowledges orders to intercept a sled coming from the island and kill the intruder if an enemy or turn it back if a member of the crew. In a "confused but exalted state" (pg. 238), Moki kills Haoke and later reports that he is pursuing the purported intruder, upon whom he pins the blame.
